@craftercms/content

This package contains services for retrieving content and navigation using APIs offered by Crafter CMS.

Usage

All of Crafter CMS packages can be used either via npm or in plain html/javascript via regular script imports.

Via npm

  • Install module using yarn or npm
    • Yarn: yarn add @craftercms/content
    • npm: npm install @craftercms/content
  • Import and use the service(s) you need

Via html script imports

  • Download the bundle and import them in your page.
  • The bundle declare a global variable named craftercms. You can access all craftercms' packages and functions under this root.
  • The content package depends on rxjs, @craftercms/utils, @craftercms/classes; make sure to import those too before the content script.

Tip: Once you've imported the scripts, type craftercms on your browser's dev tools console to inspect the package(s)

Vanilla html/js example

<div id="myFeature"></div>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/rxjs"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@craftercms/utils"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@craftercms/classes"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@craftercms/content"></script>
<script>
 (function ({ content }, { operators }) {

   content.getItem(
     '/site/website/index.xml',
     { baseUrl: 'http://localhost:8080', site: 'editorial' }
   ).pipe(
     operators.map(content.parseDescriptor)
   ).subscribe((model) => {
     const elem = document.querySelector('#myFeature');
     Object.entries(model).forEach(([fieldId, value]) => {
       if (fieldId !== 'craftercms') {
         const el = document.createElement('div');
         el.innerText = `${fieldId}: ${value}`;
         elem.appendChild(el);
       }
     });
   });

 })(craftercms, rxjs);
</script>

Service pre-configuration

You may pre-configure content services to a certain configuration to then you may omit the config param on subsequent calls to services

  import { Item } from '@craftercms/models';
  import { getItem } from '@craftercms/content';
  import { crafterConf } from '@craftercms/classes';

  // Configure crafter services "globally". Your config will be cached. 
  // All content services use the specified configuration on subsequent calls.
  crafterConf.configure({
    baseUrl: 'http://authoring.company.com',
    site: 'editorial'
  });
 
  // Second param "config" will use "http://authoring.company.com" as 
  // crafter base url and "editorial" as the site to query
  getItem('/site/website/index.xml').subscribe((item: Item) => {
    console.log(item);
  });

Package Index

The examples below assume usage in the style of using via npm. If you're using the bundles, directly importing as a script in the browser, these functions will be under the global variable named craftercms.content (i.e. window.craftercms.content).

parseDescriptor

Parse a Descriptor, Item or a GraphQL response into a Content Instance. It could also be a collection of any of these types.

parseDescriptor(response: Descriptor | Item | GraphQLResponse | Descriptor[] | Item[] | GraphQLResponse)

Parameters
response The response of a getItem, getDescriptor or GraphQL fetch call

Returns

ContentInstance

Examples

  • If you want a cleaner/parsed response, you may use parseDescriptor util to parse the response for you. You may use it to parse getItem, getDescriptor or GraphQL responses.
  import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';
  import { ContentInstance } from '@craftercms/models';
  import { getChildren, getItem, parseDescriptor } from '@craftercms/content';
  
  getItem('/site/website/index.xml', { site: 'editorial' }).pipe(
    map(parseDescriptor)
  ).subscribe((content: ContentInstance) => {
    console.log(content);
  });

  getChildren('/site/website', { site: 'editorial' }).pipe(
    map(parseDescriptor)
  ).subscribe((content: ContentInstance[]) => {
    console.log(content);
  });

preParseSearchResults

Inspects and parses elasticsearch hits and pre-parses objects before they can be sent to parseDescriptor @see https://github.com/craftercms/craftercms/issues/4057

import { createQuery, search } from '@craftercms/search';
import { parseDescriptor, preParseSearchResults } from '@craftercms/content';

search(
  createQuery({
    query: {
      bool: {
        filter: [/*...*/]
      }
    }
  }),
  { baseUrl: 'http://localhost:8080', site: 'editorial' }
).pipe(
  map(({ hits, ...rest }) => ({
    ...rest,
    hits: hits.map(({ _source }) => parseDescriptor(
      preParseSearchResults(_source)
    ))
  }))
).subscribe((results) => {
  // Do stuff with results...
});
